Hey there! I am Tom, also known as LightningLion58 here. I am 19 years old, and I currently study computer science in college. I develop on Roblox in my free time.
I specialize in scripting/programming, and I’ve been scripting on Roblox for over 5 years.
I enjoy scripting User Interfaces and effects/animations, but I can do just about anything.
I work well with other people, and I am very passionate about my work.
Here are some of the projects I’ve worked on throughout the years. This is not the full list. I chose the ones that I’ve worked on the most and am allowed to share, and/or I am fairly happy with:
